Have you ever wished you could ride along with your drivers? You can’t be everywhere at once, but with the power of connected telematics, you can get real-time insights into driver behavior, traffic conditions, fleet performance, and much more.
It’s all about telematics, a type of GPS hardware that gives you end-to-end information on crucial data points concerning safety and performance. While this is an additional investment for your fleet, telematics is a must-have for improving safety, staying compliant, and even reducing costs.
In this guide, we’ll explain how fleet telematics works and why it’s an increasingly important tool for effective fleet management.

What Is Fleet Telematics?
Fleet telematics monitors fleet vehicles via GPS-enabled hardware that transmits diagnostics back to company headquarters, usually in real time. It’s a type of Internet of Things (IoT) hardware that transmits, stores, and receives data from remote fleet devices to a centralized dashboard.
Fleet telematics come in so many forms, including:
- AI-powered cameras
- Real-time GPS sensors
- Facial recognition software
With telematics, you install the hardware on each fleet vehicle. Depending on the device, you can monitor location, speed, fuel usage, and even engine diagnostics. The telematics software transmits data back to your server using a cellular or wireless network. The solution processes all the data in real time and makes it available in a simplified dashboard.
This solution makes it a cinch to understand driver behavior, fuel usage, and more at a glance. When you can’t physically ride along with drivers, telematics is the next best thing.
